Insurance/Payment Information

Medicare: Pays for the cost of inpatient rehabilitation provided you meet criteria at admission and during your stay. The Medical Director will make the decision whether you meet criteria, but it is always subject to review from Medicare. Private Insurance: Your benefits will be verified prior to admission and pre-authorization for admission obtained. This is not a guarantee of payment. Throughout your stay, your case manager will work with your insurance to obtain continued authorization.

Length of Stay

Many factors influence your length of stay including severity of injury, previous health status, and medical complications. The Rehab Team will determine an estimated length of stay for you based on their evaluations after your admission. Patient Satisfaction Surveys at the time of discharge indicated that 97 percent of our patients would recommend our program to others. The survey return rate was 30 percent.

Your Return Home In 2002, 580 patients were discharged and 77 percent of those people were able to return to an independent living setting. The team will work with you and your family to help determine the best discharge environment for you based on your needs at the time of discharge. If you are unable to return home, the team will assist you and your family in making other arrangements.

Our Commitment to You It is the policy of the Rehabilitation Center that all team members act in a manner consistent with the mission, philosophy, and operating policies of the program to bring to life the core values of Norman Regional Health System.
